I watched Calypso earlier and I loved it. It was a wonderful little character piece that had a great SF premise at its core. The relationship between Craft and Zora was a sketch and couldn’t be otherwise given the short runtime, but it was a very good sketch. It felt like a really good short story in the Star Trek universe, and I’m totally down for more little experiments like this in the future.

I love the idea that Discovery is just sitting there for the rest of Star Trek’s history, with the Enterprises, Defiant, Voyager and whatever comes next just flying by. I was intrigued by Michael Chabon writing this episode, and I’m really excited for what he’s going to bring to the Picard show now.
